Frequently Asked Questions about China Tibet Nepal Tour

• What travel documents to obtain for a China Tibet Nepal tour?

  Firstly, if you choose to travel from Tibet to Nepal after sightseeing in China, you will need a Chinese Visa and a Tibet Travel Permit. You can obtain the Chinese Visa from your nearest Chinese Embassy before entering China. The Tibet Travel Permit requires a valid Chinese Visa and passport, and a local travel agency, like us, can assist you with the application.

  If you choose the opposite route, traveling from Nepal to Tibet and then to China, the permit requirements are slightly different. You will need a Chinese Group Visa and a Tibet Travel Permit. The Chinese Group Visa is a special entry visa obtained through the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu before entering Tibet from Nepal. We can assist you in obtaining both the Chinese Group Visa and the Tibet Travel Permit.

  Additionally, while touring Tibet, you will need other permits to visit restricted areas, such as the Aliens’ Travel Permit for the Mount Everest region and the Military Permit for the Mount Kailash area. We will handle all these permits for you as long as you book your Tibet tour with us.

• Which city is suitable to start a China Tibet Nepal tour?

  In mainland China, you can start a China-Tibet-Nepal tour from gateway cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu. Shanghai and Beijing are two metropolises with frequent connections to the rest of the world, both boasting a wealth of famous landmarks to visit. You can also take a flight or the Tibet train directly to Lhasa from these two cities.

  As for Chengdu, it is the best city to enter Tibet by air. There are more than ten non-stop flights from Chengdu to Lhasa every day, and it only takes about 2 hours. Additionally, Chengdu, as the most developed city in southwest China, has increasing connections to many overseas destinations.

  In addition, you can also choose Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, to start a journey to the three regions. Kathmandu is the only city that offers international flights to Lhasa, which take only about 90 minutes. You can also take an overland trip from Kathmandu to Lhasa along the well-paved Friendship Highway, and then continue to mainland China by train or flight.

• When is the best time to enjoy a China Tibet Nepal tour?

  China is a destination that can be visited year-round due to its generally moderate climate and weather. However, it is better to avoid peak travel seasons such as the Chinese National Holiday and May Day Holiday, as there will be large crowds of domestic travelers in popular cities like Beijing and Shanghai.

  The best time to visit Tibet is from April to October when the weather is mild and stable. Winter in Tibet can be extremely cold in most areas on the plateau, though some places like Lhasa have relatively warm temperatures. Summer, in July and August, is good for travel, and rainfall usually occurs in the evening and will not usually interrupt your journey.

  Nepal has a temperate climate and can be visited in any season. For most tourists traveling to Nepal for mountain trekking, the best time is from late September to late November, when the weather is clear and dry, and it is neither too cold nor too hot.

• How many days are needed to tour China, Tibet, and Nepal together?

  It all comes down to your preference, whether you're into simple sightseeing or a more thorough exploration of the three destinations. Generally, most tourists require at least 10 days to cover China, Tibet, and Nepal.

  In China, you'll typically spend 2-5 days visiting one or two cities like Beijing and Xi’an consecutively. Traveling from China to Tibet by train can range from 22 to 50 hours, depending on your departure city. Alternatively, a flight can take at least half a day to reach the plateau.

  Once in Tibet, plan for two days to explore Lhasa city. If you're keen on visiting remote spots like Everest Base Camp, factor in an additional 4 days. If you're considering an overland journey from Lhasa to Kathmandu, set aside 4 to 5 extra days. Keep in mind that the farther you venture from Lhasa, the more time you'll require.

  Lastly, allocate at least 2 days to explore Nepal, particularly the iconic city of Kathmandu. If you wish to discover more cities like Pokhara and Chitwan, you'll need to extend your stay. If you're unsure about how to organize your itinerary, don't hesitate to reach out to us for personalized suggestions.

• What is the best way to travel to Tibet from mainland China? by train or flight?

  The ideal method of traveling to Tibet depends on factors like your preferences, budget, and time constraints.

  Taking the train to Tibet offers a memorable journey through China's vast landscapes and the Tibetan Plateau. The train ride to Lhasa offers breathtaking scenery, passing through mountains, grasslands, and remote Tibetan villages. However, train journeys to Tibet can be lengthy, with travel times ranging from approximately 22 to 55 hours depending on the departure city.

  Alternatively, flying to Tibet provides a faster and more convenient option, especially for those with limited time or a preference for quicker travel. Flights to Lhasa Gonggar Airport are available from major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu, as well as from Kathmandu, Nepal. Flight durations are relatively short, typically taking only a few hours to reach Lhasa.
